Hi All ,
        This is a weird one .
        I have two Xterminals in a room .
        When I log on with one of them (CDE) and click on the
        "Application Manager" icon , it crashes my system .
        I have tried it on the other Xterm in the room and
        other Xterms on campus , but it only happens with this one .
        All the Xterms are the same . (NCD)
        
        The crash dump says :
_panic_string: 0xfffffc0000614d00 = "kernel memory fault"
trap: invalid memory ifetch access from kernel mode

        The _current_pid: 9033 is dtfile .
        Which is strange as the desktop is clear with no
        applications starting up at log on .
        

        I know it's a long shot , but does anyone have any ideas
        as to what it may be .
        It is only when I click the "Application Manager" icon
        which causes the system to crash , all other applications
        seem to work OK . And only on that one Xterm ?????


Thanking you ,
